minerva

Friends at the Society of International Railway Travelers used a detail from the tile floor on the British Pullman car "Minerva" to make a striking greeting card. The Minerva, a 26-seat, first-class parlor car, was built in 1927 by the Midland Railway Carriage and Wagon Co., Ltd. The photo is by Owen Hardy and design by Stephen Sebree. May there be many train rides for all in 2011!
